Award-winning comedian and Warwick graduate Stephen Merchant will play a one-off sell-out performance, “Work in Progress”, tonight at the Warwick Arts Centre.

Merchant gained notoriety after co-creating the hit TV comedy programme The Office with Ricky Gervais, and is currently a BBC Radio 6 DJ. He has also starred in films such as Hot Fuzz and Run, Fatboy Run.

However, he started his successful broadcasting career at the University of Warwick where he studied a BA (Hons) in Film and Literature. Whilst studying at Warwick he was a film reviewer for the student-led Radio Warwick, and he took one of his films to the Edinburgh Festival.

After amassing a collection of BAFTA, EMMY, and Golden Globe awards it’s no surprise that his one-night-only show at Warwick has sold out.
